Having proven her directorial mettle with the cult-classic slasher THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, director Amy Holden Jones next convinced producer Roger Corman to finance something completely different: a serious, probing, psychosexual exploration of forbidden love based on her own original script. A magnetic Jamie Lee Curtis gives a breakthrough dramatic performance as a woman who discovers her late mother’s stash of love letters—sent not by her father, but by an unknown lover. The startling revelation of her mother’s infidelity leads her to pursue her own intense, illicit affair with a married man (James Keach).
